Fur Vs Mirror Geometry Poly's

[charles-fernandez]

I've got a character created in poly's, with the geometry mirrored for easy symetry. I now want to apply Fur. It will only accept fur on one half of the model. The same goes for paint effects. I paint on one side of the model and the stroke disappears, then a mirror image of the stroke shows on the opposite side. I try painting the opposite side, and it stays on that side.

Tried converting the poly object into subdiv, same thing.
Tried deleting the object history.. no good.

Fur just doesn't seem to mesh well with polys in general. As a test I created a poly cube and applied fur to it... the fur only appeared on one face of the cube.

I've exhausted my limited knowledge of Fur, and am begining to pull my own hair out, though that seems to have no effect either.

Ok they are interrelated, when you cerate a cube you steratch it so big that it uses uv cords from -1,-1 to 3,2 fur will assume you only use 0,0 to 1,1 (use different uv scheme for the cube)

Now when you miiroor same happens you mirror the uvs over obe side or then DONT mirror and fur relies on nonoverlapping us.

I'm not sure I get entirely what your saying. As far as UV's go I have the whole model projection mapped. None of the options I've tried in the Poly UV's menu have had any effect on the Fur. Is there a way to link Fur to a texure map, like you can with tranparancy, or bump?
